Learning about specific coverages of a car insurance policy can help you determine the right coverages for your vehicles. The terms used in a policy can be difficult to understand and nobody wants to actually read their policy. Below you’ll find the usual coverages found on most car insurance policies.
Med pay and Personal Injury Protection (PIP) – Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP reimburse you for expenses for things like pain medications, nursing services, hospital visits, doctor visits and ambulance fees. They are utilized in addition to your health insurance plan or if you lack health insurance entirely. Medical payments and PIP cover both the driver and occupants and also covers getting struck while a pedestrian. Personal injury protection coverage is not an option in every state but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage
Comprehensive insurance – This covers damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. A deductible will apply then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive insurance covers claims like fire damage, theft, damage from getting keyed and damage from a tornado or hurricane. The highest amount your car insurance company will pay is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle’s value is low it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.
Collision – Collision insurance will pay to fix damage to your Cruze from colliding with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. A deductible applies and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.
Collision can pay for claims like hitting a mailbox, sideswiping another vehicle and driving through your garage door. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so consider removing coverage from older vehicles. It’s also possible to increase the deductible to save money on collision insurance.
Liability – This coverage protects you from injuries or damage you cause to other’s property or people by causing an accident. It protects you against claims from other people. Liability doesn’t cover your own vehicle damage or injuries.
Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. You commonly see values of 50/100/50 that translate to a limit of $50,000 per injured person, $100,000 for the entire accident, and $50,000 of coverage for damaged propery.
Liability can pay for claims such as funeral expenses, structural damage, attorney fees, emergency aid and repair bills for other people’s vehicles. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is a personal decision, but consider buying as large an amount as possible.
Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM) – Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage gives you protection from other drivers when they do not carry enough liability coverage. Covered losses include medical payments for you and your occupants as well as damage to your Chevy Cruze.
Because many people only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. So UM/UIM coverage is very important.
